Huckabee is a joke. I would never vote for him either. We already tried a Baptist/ NEVER again.

"Without video or audio tape, I don’t believe it."

Why? Rollins has a very bad habit of shooting off his mouth inappropriately which is why he doesn't work for many campaigns anymore. Remember what he said about how he won Christine Todd Whitman's governor campaign?

Chris Wallace just interviewed Rollins on FNC, and Rollins basically confirmed everything in this post.

That's fine. You might have seen Fox' Chris Wallace just ask ER about the conversation. He didn't deny anything. Afterwards, Brit commented facetiously on how good it was to interview a happy winner.

Having Ed Rollins on your staff is the kiss of death.

Just ask Bill Simon.

>>Remember what he said about how he won Christine Todd Whitman’s governor campaign?

Campaign operatives for Christine Todd Whitman, New Jersey’s governor-elect, funneled “walking around money” to big-city black churches in the state in exchange for commitments from ministers not to deliver pre-election sermons supporting incumbent Democratic Gov. Jim Florio, Whitman’s top campaign strategist said Tuesday.

Ed Rollins, consultant to the Whitman campaign, told reporters that the campaign for the Republican gubernatorial candidate used approximately $500,000 in “walking around money” — money used to pay Election Day expenses — to make donations to black churches and to pay some political workers in the state’s urban centers to stay home on Election Day.

“We had a substantial amount of walking around money, which is a different game — somewhere in the neighborhood of half a million dollars,” Rollins said.

“We went into black churches, and we basically said to ministers who had endorsed Florio, `Do you have a special project?’ And they said, `We’ve already endorsed Florio.’ We said, `That’s fine . . . don’t get up on the pulpit Sunday and say it’s your moral obligation that you go on Tuesday to vote for Jim Florio,’ “ Rollins said.

During remarks at a breakfast meeting with reporters, Rollins... didn’t say which churches were targeted by the Whitman campaign.

He said the amounts the churches received varied depending on their size, adding that he did not personally arrange any of the payments: “Those were our community people who obviously knew what they needed to do and where they needed to do it.”

Marriott does not have a monopoly on porn. Almost every hotel/motel has porn available ob cable. Where there is a demand, there will be a supply. Just look at the multi-BILLION dollars worth of Heroin & Cocaine sold in the USA.
